Madison Liquidators has grown a lot since I first started back in January of 2021. To me, it’s a little wild how far we have come since then.

Everyday for at least 8 hours you go to work, sit down and don't get up again until it's time to leave. But have you ever given any thought to what you're sitting on?
If you're like most people, the office furniture provided for you by your company is the office furniture you use.

Versatility with the office furniture can be a bonus for a growing office. Take the L shaped desk for example.

Do you remember when you were a kid and the worst punishment you could get was being grounded? You would be in your room, looking longingly out of the upstairs window while your friends rode bikes or played tackle football.
